The Well Fed Guide To Life Episode 197 – A Manly Brunch

admin@fancypantsgangsters.com (The Fancy Pants Gangsters) — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 22:26:53 +0000

What is more manly than brunch? It’s got all the meatly potential of breakfast, plus it’s later in the day which accommodates for late night wood splitting or bear wrestling. And when it’s at a place called Nick and Eddie, two sufficiently manly names, how could you go wrong? Let me count the ways…

John Hughes, Das Superbowlen (this was recorded Sunday morning, so no post-game analysis, which I’m sure you were hoping for) and our respective beef stew recipes are all covered on this hollendaise-slathered edition of the best show featuring two guys talking with their mouth full that will get past iTunes content filters.

Blogulator Radio Episode 41 – Law & Order: Special Addicts Unit

admin@fancypantsgangsters.com (The Fancy Pants Gangsters) — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 01:48:16 +0000

With special international TV correspondent Lady Amy back in the States temporarily, Chris and Jerksica have a roundtable discussion with her about the mysterious addictiveness and longevity prowess of NBC’s 13-seasons-and-still-chugging-along crime procedural Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. Having not tuned in a while, especially since the news of Elliot Stabler aka Christopher Meloni aka Sam the Eagle’s departure from the show, Lady Amy convinced her blogcasters in crime (pun intended) to check it out and to their chagrin, it is indeed still the same competent Dick Wolf production it always was back in its heyday. The three discuss some of the latest episodes, recent cast additions, and pop cultural peripheries that have helped keep the show running strong while still firmly remaining in the “entertaining” and not “meaningful” category of television. Somehow, even after The Wire, Justified, and many more, plus the glut of ripoffs that have since become more popular, SVU still remains watchable primetime programming.

Yet Another Gaming Show Episode 279 – The Good Plates

admin@fancypantsgangsters.com (The Fancy Pants Gangsters) — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 03:02:20 +0000

This week’s show felt like a big family dinner. Everyone is present, plus we have a very special guest this week in Kyle Orland, senior gaming writer for Ars Technica and prognosticator extraordinaire (provided said prognosticating is based around the future of the XBox and used games). It’s a little long, like many family holidays. And like most people’s family dinners, eventually someone says something offensive or complains about games not entirely being done right or maybe even decides to be picky and only talk about Chees-its. Well I don’t care what you all want, we are going to sit down and podcast as a family!

Check out Ashley’s latest art bomb (as in “da bomb” or “babomb”), on sale Friday!

The Well Fed Guide To Life Episode 196 – Shock The Meat

admin@fancypantsgangsters.com (The Fancy Pants Gangsters) — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 02:19:53 +0000

What better way to celebrate the pinnacle of American football than with some pizza shaped like one? And when that pizza is certified “The Best Afghani Pizza” in the Twin Cities, doesn’t that make it a bit more American? Think about it.

Dave and Evan take some time to return to ForeignTown (aka Central Ave through Nordeast) for some damn fine halal pizza courtesy of Crescent Moon Bakery. While there, Dave talks about shocking his meat with orange juice, Evan reveals some of the secrets of being a humor ninja, and everyone learns a lesson about multicultural togetherness. Awwwww.

Blogulator Radio Episode 40 – Vampirez ‘R Us: The Games People Play

admin@fancypantsgangsters.com (The Fancy Pants Gangsters) — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 23:26:38 +0000

It’s been a while since Qualler and Brigitte have been as addicted to a show as they are to The Vampire Diaries, but now that they are, it seems to be their personal goal in life to tell everybody ever to watch it so they can talk about it with more people. They even bugged everybody at the last Fancy Pants Gangsters Happy Hour to watch it non-stop, while Qualler has been crafting his Damon Salvatore imitation for some time now. (Spoiler alert: it scares people more than it charms people. Props to Ian Somerhalder for owning the character’s amazing quirks so well.) So, in the back half of this episode of Blogulator Radio, Qualler and Brigitte discuss how they feel about the show at the point they are at – midway through season two. Before that, however, Qualler and Brigitte play a game of “Is It True?” where Qualler reads a pilot premise for a new network show and Brigitte guesses if it is true. This game (d)evolves into “Guess The Premise By The Title” and then into “Guess The Title By The Premise”. They also discuss the new season of Archer and the new animated comedy series Unsupervised, both on FX.

Everybody loves new music, right? Mike from Cincinnati band The Pinstripes calls in to the show to talk to Courtney about their brand new record “The Pinstripes /I.” The two discuss the benefits of Kickstarter, why this album may not be their debut record, but sounds like a completely different band, and how to get lost in the rabbit-hole of Jamaican music. Check out the brand new album, which drops on February 3rd on their website. And if you’re in the Twin Cities area, check out The Pinstripes at The Red Sea in Minneapolis on Saturday, March 3rd with special guests The Prizefighters, Dred I Dread, and Umbrella Bed!

Yet Another Gaming Show Episode 278 – It’s On Computers Now

admin@fancypantsgangsters.com (The Fancy Pants Gangsters) — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 23:47:23 +0000

Behold, the power of the internet! Not only is it a vast archive of heated political diatribe and pornography (not to mention political pornography), it’s a place you can acquire games.

Now that you have had time to process that, allow us to elaborate in podcast form. We’ve got ScaryGirl and Trailer Park King reviews, plus a robust discussion on the future of digital only consoles courtesy of a question posed by listener frkshw007. If you want to send us discussion topics, we would love to hear them. Just find us on the various social networks or out in the street. Just look for the guys with the hair. There is also some discussion of early 90′s cartoons, but there was no internet back then, so I can’t find a good way to work that in to the post. Taadaa!

Yet Another Gaming Show is available on Stitcher, the free podcast radio app for your better smart phones.

The Well Fed Guide To Life Episode 195 – The Great Autismo

admin@fancypantsgangsters.com (The Fancy Pants Gangsters) — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 00:07:38 +0000

Offensive…or genius? Sometimes the line is blurry. Other times, it’s pretty obvious. We’ll let the Internet decide under which category Evan’s idea falls.

The guys continue the slow march to the suburbs, branching all the way to St Louis Park (they probably sprained something) for a little celebration of Chinese New Year at Yangtze. Dave nostalgiates about family gatherings surrounding metal serving bowls, Evan speaks for civil rights and flaming sauces, and everyone at Well Fed Guide wishes you all a happy year of the Positive Water Dragon.
